Our invention has for one of itsobjects to provide a combinedcoin-operated` calendar and saving-s bank `which1will be selfdumping todischarge the collected coins,;at the endof a predetermined time(preferably at Vthe end of each month).

Another object is to rovide a device of.

the character set forth aving an indicator to show the day of the monthand another indicator to disclose the month, coin-opere` ated meansbeing provided for setting the month'day indicatortodisclose the date,

while means are provided for automatically moving y the month indicatorwhen said month day indicator has been moved a predetermined'number oftimes.

` Another 'obj ect is to provide unique means tor prevent operation ofthe device or `the removal of coinstherefrom by tilting or in-B verting.Y

With the foregoing and mino-r objects in view, the `inventionresides inthe novel subject matter `hereinafter describedY and claimed, thedescription beingl supplemented by the accompanying drawings.

Figure 6 is a duplicate ofFig. 5 with the exception that it illustratesthe manner in which the coin is released when the lmonth day indicatoris moved. i

Figure 7 is a topv plan view with :parts removed, broken away and inhorizontal section.

Figure "8 is a vertical i sectional view through the lower portion ofthey device showing the manner in` which the coin re-` ceptacle dumps'.

In the drawings above briefiy` described, the numeral l designates asuitabley casing which is preferably provided with an en.

lai-ged base portion 2 separated `from the upper portion of thev casingby a horizontal partition 3.V A month day indicator 4 which' isprefera-bl in the form of a. wheel or disk, `is rotatabiy mounted in thecasing above the partition 3 so .that the numerals an opening 5 or atransparent portion in t e front of thef casing. In' fthe constructionshown, a horizontal shaft 6 is provided for thel `indicator 4, one endvof said shaft being supported by the'front wall of the casing 1, whilethe `other end of said shaft is supported by a vertical plate 7 [whichis spaced forwardly tosome extent from `the rear wall of thecasing, `the:lower endl'fof this plate opposite edge walls of'said casing,asillustratedinFig; l. A

In the present showing, the periphery of the month day indicator 4, `isprovidedfwith a plurality ofv circumferentially' spaced teeth 12, atleast one of which co-operates normally `with a coin-released dog or thelike lfor holding the indicator against rotation. One end of thisdogextends into a coin chute 14 so that acoin` `15 inserted into saidchute as shown'in Figs. 4, vand 6, will release ysaid dog, permittingturningof the upon' its face, representing the days o f the month, maybe viewed one at a time throu h that Within the scope 0f the inventionas claimed, numerous minor changes may be made.

We claim:

l. In combination, a movably mounted member and coin-controlled meansfor operating the same, a second movably mounted u member, operatingmeans for said second member including a projection on the first namedmember, a movably mounted trap to receive the coins from saidcoin-controlled operating-means, and a latch normally holding said trapin coin-retaining position, said latch having a releasing portion in thepath of the aforesaid projection, whereby the latter forms not only partof the operating means for the second member, but releasing means forsaid latch.

2. A coin-operated device comprisin a casing containing coin-controlledmechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing for collectively holding thecoins inserted, a latch under the control of Said coin-controlledmechanism for normally holding said receptacle in coin-retainingposition and a guard for preventing release of said latch When thecasing is tilted.

3. A coin-operated device comprising a `casing containingcoin-controlled mechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing forcollectively holding the coins inserted, a latch under control of saidcoin-controlled mechanism for holding said receptacle in coinretainingposition, and a gravity-applied holding device Jfor said latch toprevent. release of the latter by tilting the casing.

4. A coin-operated device comprising a casing containing coin-controlledmechanism, a coin receptacle in said casing `for collectively holdingthe coins inserted, said. receptacle being mounted for downward tiltingto a coin-dumping position, a horizontally movable pivoted latch mountedin the casing and engaged with said receptacle to hold itnormallyagainst tilting, said latch being under the control of saidcoin-controlled mechanism, and a latch holding device pivoted on saidreceptacle and having a Weight active to hold it in a position topreventJ release of the latch when the casing is tilted.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto aixed our signatures.
